OK .. make -f debian/rules binary goes fine for me until just after it
has made the modules, when it hits:

   ... nux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/enbd_ioctl.o /tmp/linux-2.6.x/drivers/block/enbd/enbd_ioctl.mod.o

(I'm not running as root)

It's trying  to make //lib/modules/foo/bar/gum.o. In my opinion it shouldn't
do that ... it should be installing into a temp dir instead. One wants
to set MODDIR, not DESTDIR, for that, I think:

  $(MAKE) module-install KERNELRELEASE=2.6.8-3-k7-smp MODDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/enbd


Also, it is building in /tmp, in general. I don't think it should do
that, should it? Shouldn't one set BUILD to `pwd`/debian/build
or something like that?

     $(MAKE) utils SYSTEM=debian BUILD=$(CURDIR)/debian/build

etc. in build-arch.

That gets one as far as ...

  dh_testdir
  dh_testroot
  dh_testroot: You must run this as root (or use fakeroot).
  make: *** [install-arch] Error 1

so now I'll try fakeroot.

That seems satisfactory.

  ...
  dh_md5sums
        (cd debian/enbd-common >/dev/null ; find . -type f ! -path
  "./etc/init.d/enbd"  ! -regex '.*/DEBIAN/.*' -printf '%P\0' | xargs -r0

        chmod 644 debian/enbd-common/DEBIAN/md5sums
        chown 0:0 debian/enbd-common/DEBIAN/md5sums

  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/oboe/ptb/lang/c/nbd/enbd-2.4.33'

That seems to make:
